Watched a mechanics on tape last night and picked up this new blocking call.

Probably give it a whirl tonight if I get the chance. :D

Only... ~ 9 hours 30 minutes before M&M picks me up.

Man that signal looks like fun, have to try that!

That looks like the officials from the Oak Hill / St. Benedict's game last night on ESPN. They did that a few times.

Do that tonight and you're walking home! :D

:) Ok ... ok, if you insist.

For those interested, the tape was by Frank Drebin. That's right -- he does more than baseball.

Surely you can't be serious!

I hope Jim is just giving you a ride to the game instead of picking you up ;)

It should be fun working with you and Jim tonight.

Didn't Garrettson et. al. have a blocking mechanic like that, back in the 70s and early 80s? I remember watching soem old school NBA back then and the refs were part of the game.

Good point. Probably best to let him rest his back as much as possible since he'll be carrying me through the game. :D

Just saw an official use your mechanic in the Florida/Georgia Southern game. He looked like he was having a lot of fun!

Well I had my chance to use the new mechanic on Friday night. ;) It was late in the game, but I just forgot. Maybe next time... :D

Chicken.

How was your weather?

Well, we have gray as an alternate jersey here in VT. So, you have a banana suit as an alternate jersey where you call games? Sounds like with M&M you have a split decision.
